Assurances which may now be opened will rateably participate, agreeably to the Laws of the Society, in the additions to be declared at the ensuing Periodical Investigation. The THIRD PERIODICAL INVESTIGATION takes place at 31st December instant, when ADDITIONS by way of BONUS will be DECLARED to ALL ASSURANCES OPENED PRE VIOUS TO THAT DATE, in terms of, and under the Limita tions contained in the Articles of Constitution and Laws of the Society. These additions, when declared, are added to and incorporated with the original Assurances, and all future additions, whether re trospectively or prospectively, are computed, not on the original, but on the accumulated amount of the Assurance. As it is pro bable that on this, as on former similar occasions, the desire to par ticipate in these benefits will very largely increase the number of proposals for Assurance which will be made to the Society previous to the closing of the books for the current year, it will greatly fa cilitate the duties of the officers of the Society, and at the various Branches throughout the country, that parties intending to propose Assurance do so with as little delay as possible, in order to prevent the inconvenience which the delaying of them till the latest possible moment at which they can be received or carried through, con sistently with the Society's regulations, has given rise to on former occasions. Parties wishing to effect Assurances, so as best to meet any par or effect any specific object, will receive the trequisiteicul r co ntinformation,ingeney and have the suitable form of Proposal trans mitted to them ; and all official communications of this nature are considered strictly confidential.

FATAL EFFECTS OF THE LATE STORM. In addition to the calamitous occurrences before reported we have received accounts frnm various parts of the coast of a most afflicting cheracter On the coast of Ireland especially the damage done by the w;nd appears to have boon very great, and the tide was in many parts of the United Kingdom so high as to completely inundate the streets and to make the roads impassable. The continued rains have also flooded many parts of the country, and several lives have been lost in conse quence. We select the following morts from the provincial and Irish Papers, beginning with the latter LOSS OF THE ST. PATRICK STEAMER.-( From the We terford Mirror of Saturday morning. )—We regret to have to announce the total wreck of the St. Patrick steamer, George Shute, master, and the loss of six persons—her two mates (John Tuckey and Wm. Trail), two of her seamen (Rowley Jones and David Humphrey), and two steerage passengers, man and wife, natives of the County Tipperary, who bad just landed at Liverpool after a three years' residence in America. They had fondly anticipated spending the remainder of their term of life in their native land, enjoying that competence for which they had travelled so far and toiled so hard ; but the hope was dis appointed, under circumstances most melancholy. The St. Patrick left Liverpool at seven on Tuesday morning, with a tolerably full cargo of merchandize, assorted in the usual va riety. She experienced a dreadfully rough passage, during some part of which she was " hove to," unable to make pro gress against the gale, and at twenty minutes to five o'clock on Wednesday evening, she was driven on the rocks at Church town, in the County Wexford, a quarter of a mile inside Hook Tower, the entrance of the harbour, where she instantly be came a total wreck losing six persons—twenty-three persons being providentially saved. An hour before this final and me lancholy catastrophe, while approaching Hook Tower, she was struck by a sea that carried away her boats and some of her bulwarks. Immediately afterwards she was struck by another surge, which carried away her steering wheel and binnacle, and the first mate, who, with others, was steering at the time. She was then worked by tackles, the hook of one of which broke, and the second mate was carried away. The vessel thus be came unmanageable, and yielded to the irresistible force of the storm. The barque Isabella, of Preston, Captain Ryner, from Per nambuco, for Liverpool, laden with cotton, entered this har bour on Monday night, during a dreadful gale. She went aground on Drumroe Bank, a large shoal near Duncannon, but was got off at flood-tide on Tuesday by the master and crew of the Scott pilot boat, and brought to anchor in Dun cannon Bay, the wind having entirely lulled. Wednesday morning the gale having again increased to a dreadful storm, she was torn from her anchors, and driven a second time on Drumroe Bank, where she lay beating in on the sand, the sea flying over her in a truly awful manner. At two o'clock, her ensign flag was hoisted, union down, as a signal of distress, upon which Mr. Benjamin Conn, the very efficient head of the Pilot establishment at Passage, accompanied by his son, Mr. John R. Conn rowed to her, and were fortunately enabled to board her, although it was with extreme difficulty the boats were preserved alongside, for the sea was so heavy that it threatened to .knock the *oats to pieces. About an hour after the Messrs. Conn—whose condtre - vrtr —the' occasion entitles them indeed to a large portion of credit—had boarded the vessel, and while they were engaged in clearing away the wreck, the vessel beat over the •Bank, and settled into deep water. The Messrs. Conn and their a dventurous crew were fortunately able to leave the vessel before she heeled on her beam ends, which she did im mediately, and drove on s h o re in Artherstown Ba y .

In these exertions the Coast Guard were emi afety.

She had lost some canvass, and had several feet of water in her hold. SHIPWRECK AND Loss OF LIFE..--WICKLOW, TUESDAY NIOHT.—At half-past 11 o'clock this morning a French brig in distress rounded this head, when a boat manned with five brave fellows put out to her assistance, despite the entrea ties of their families and friends, it being the opinion of the more experienced that no boat, however ably managed, could live in the tremendous breakers dashed in by a heavy gale from the south .east. Notwithstanding, these poor fellows pulled off to the aid of the brig, and they made for her amid r t e h s a o t a l u nc t ed e u do b n o se l h d eei n ly e t ei s tr s g , hhe p er u r. r e s r u lev e % d vh et h no e r a , bh oe k u n i tg o tn w hor i r n ea g en t m l o i e ifl r e ts p hd e e r i s i h l t o aa u nr shrieks of despair; but she stood o u t aga i n .

The remaining three reached the shore almost lifeless. As to the saving of the brig's crew, no description could do adequate justice to the in trepidity and resoluteness of Mr. Jones and the men of the coast guard under his command. Having tied ropes about their bodies, Mr. Jones and one of his gallant men faced the mountainous billows, and though repeatedly dashed and crushed to eart h b eneath t h e i r fury, still they braved them, till they reached the vessel. They found the crew, six in number, quite exhausted, and they succeeded in lodging them comfortably in the station.house at the point. The Captain of the brig is in a very weak state; he and his men are fo reigners As yet nothing has been ascertained respecting her cargo or intended destination. WEDNESDAY, Nov. 28.—1 t is rumou red this mornin g that the brig above -mentioned turns out to be a smuggler laden with brandy and rum. SUPPOSED WRECK ON THE NORTH-EAST COAST.—A sealed bottle, inside of which was a hastily written note, was picked up yesterday by Mr. Jer. Brown, on the strand, about half a mile from Carlingford. The note is as follows : " SHIP JuNo, —A heavy squall has laid us on our beam ends, lat. 55, and carried away all masts. We are now rigging jury ones, but we fear will be short of spars, almost all being washed overboard.—Newry Telegraph. ( Signed) .‘ J. CARSON." BELFAS T . —D ur i ng th e whole of yesterday, there prevailed the most tempestuous weather that we have experienced since the commencement of the winter. The violence of the wind rendered walking in the streets very dangerous, from the falling slates and chimneys; and in the evening a large new house, which had been roofed in, at the corner of Chichester street and Edward street, was blow down. Happily the workmen were not on the spot, and no person was near at the time of the accident, or the consequences would have been serious. The rain poured down incessantly, and the low fields on May's-ground, adjacent to the Lagan embankment, are under water, to the depth, in some places, of several feet. We hear that a portion of the bank has given way, and that the tide flowed up, as on a former occasion or two. It is to be dreaded that the intelligence from the coast will be disastrous. —Belfast 117tig. The Ariadne was driven on Monday night upon the north bar of the entrance of Wexford harbour, where she settled down ; and the remainder of the crew were compelled to take to i the rigging to save their lives. They remained in this dreadful situation till the following day about one o'clock, when exhausted from fatigue, cold, and hunger, three of the poor fellows let go their holds, in order to get at some pork in the fore part of the ship, and melancholy to relate, they were washed overt •Ird and seen no more. The Juno is supposed to have sunk. WRECK OF THE MARY OF LlVERPOOL—lntelligence of the total wreck of the above vessel reached us yesterday morn ing. From letters received since then, we learn that she stranded off Ring, near Clonakilty, in the the west of this County, in the gale of Tuesday morning. The Mary was a fine vessel of 368 tons burthen, commanded by Captain George Smith, was bound from Maranham in South America, for Liverpool ; had on hoard 17 hands—all of whom are saved —and a very valuable cargo, consi , ting, amongst other articles of between four hundred and five hundred bundles of Sarspa rilla. 50 barrels of Balsam Capivi, 40 or 50 casks of India Rubber, Isinglass, 20 bales of Cotton, &c., &c. When first seen off the land, the vessel was completely dismasted, the sea breaking over her with great violence. By the exertions of ,everal gentlemen in the neighbourhood—particularly the Messrs. Lucas, Gallwev, and Crofts, the Master and crew were got off safely. In the course of the day she went to pieces, and the destruction of property by the country people from that moment is represented as being enormous, very little of the cargo being saved. WRECK OF THE CLEMENTSON OF WIITTEHAVEN._.Thi s morning's letter announced that the barque Clementson, of Whitehaven, John Newby, master, bound from Porto Cabello for Liverpool, is on shore at 13allycotton—all hands saved. She was yesterday 13ing on her side bilged ; but it was thought, from the dreadful weather that prevailed, that ship and cargo must he totally lost. The latter (very valuable), consists of Copper Ore, Cotton, Indigo, Chil-weed, &c. The Inspecting Commander of the Coast-guard had sent for the aid of the The above reports are only a few or those with which the Irish Papers abound. The Cork Southern Reporter, with other papers, contains whole columns detailing th'- most disas trous shipping intelligence. We now proceed to make extracts from the country papers of England and Wales : FOURTEEN LIVES LOST.—In common with other parts of the county, at Monmouth, the Varteg, near Pontypool, has suffered from the effects of the severe and heavy storms of the week. On Wednesday the river which flows by that place was continually rising, until at last it arrived at a fearful height, and about two o'clock, at a spot a little below the Varteg, the banks of the river gave way, and the impetuous torrent, in an instant, spread in every direction, and rushed on in its destructive course. There was unfortunately situated close to the outbreak a small cottage, which was occupied by a poor man named Richard Pugh, his wife, and three children. The only inmates in the house were the three children, aged_ re spectively seven years, th ree years, and ten mouths. During the short absence of the poor woman the devastating element had entered her habitation, filling it to the roof; and, al though the accident was immediately observed, the little inno cents were drowned. The house is completely gutted, no thing but the bare walls remaining. It is our painful duty to record another accident, also caused by the heavy floods, at Blanmvon, on the same day, and which has been attended with a greater and more deplorable loss of human life. It ap pears from the particulars of this dreadful calamity, furnished to us by a correspondent, that on Wednesday, between one and two o'clock, a large pond which supplies the works had, in consequence of the increased flush of water from the hills, burst its bounds, and through some unacconntable cause, the water, instead of emptying itself into the usual channel, di rected its course towards the bridge level, where there were a great many individuals at work. The water rushed into the level, and those persons who were employed in the upper range immediately ran out and escaped ; but lamentable to state, there were 15 persons missing —consisting of 11 men, and two boys and two girls, who were working in the lower level, and who had no opportunity of escaping ; and it is sup posed they all met a watery grave. Up to Thursday evening none of the bodies had been found, and although great activity prevailed in pumping out the water, still it is feared that a fortnight or three weeks will elapse before the remains of the unfortunate persons will be recovered —Hereford Times. The port of Weymouth was visited with one of the most violent hurricanes within recollection, on Sunday morning, which continued the whole of that day, and Monday and Tuesday following, until the ebb tide in the afternoon of the latter day, the wind blowing from the eastward, veering from cast to south-east, with a most tremendous swell. During the height of the gale on WedneiClay, the sea broke over the beach, and has laid the whole of Lodmoor under water, which now resembles the sea, and the turnpike road is for the pre sent impassable. On Tuesday a severe gale from the E. S. E. was expe rienced at Weymouth ; and on Wednesday, the wind changed to the west, and continued during the whole of that day and night to blow a perfect hurricane. During the night two vessels were wrecked on Portland Beach, opposite Langton, names unknown, and all hands perished. A long list of disastrous occurrences of a similar character are reported. FIVE VESSELS LOST.—WIVENIIOE, Nov. 22.—During the last few days the weather has been exceeding bad, with a great deal of rain; it commenced last Saturday, with the wind from the eastward, and very thick. A schooner, called the Ocean, of Sunderland, 126 tons, Banfred master, laden with 3,700 dozen bottles, earthenware, coals, &c., got on the Aliddle, and soon afterwards became a complete wreck, with her cargo ; crew saved by the smack Beulah, of this port, James master, and landed at \Vivenhoe. On the same day the Leda, of Scarborough, burden 221 tons, was lost on the Shipwash ; and on the following day the Mantura, of Scarborough, 200 tons burden ; the Science, of Scarborough, 232 tons, and the Medway, of Sunderland, about the same tonnage, were lost on the Gunfleet ; the respective crews were all saved, and landed at Harwich, Brightlingsea, and \Vivenhoe. The total amount of loss is very little short of 15,0001. It is a very singular and unfortunate circumstance, thet all three of the Scarborough ships belonged to one owner.—Essex Herald. PnvmouTo, DEC. I.—During the greater part of yesterday and this day we have been visited by a continued heavy fall of rain, arid the consequence has been that the lower part of this city and St. Thomas is very much inundated. Out at sea several vessels have su s t a i ne d i n j u ry. Whilst we write the rain continues incessant, accompanied by more than half a gale of wind,. 6 which_ . h as sprung up t hi s morn i ng, veer i ng at inter vals from S. E. to S. W. Great has been the damage in our streets by the falling of chimney-pots, pantiles, and slates, to the serious annoyance of those who are compelled to venture forth. The loss of life at Clovelly, during the late storm, is not so great, we are happy to say, at was at first supposed. Two of the missing boats were picked up by a vessel, and taken into Bridgewater; and two others were driven under Lundy Island, where they got shelter, and were preserved. This makes a difference of eight or ten persons in the number said to have been drowned.— Cambrian. SUIPWRECK AND Loss OF LIFE.—The Hampshire Adver tiser states that the brig Wonder, on the morning of the 20th ult., llamburgh to London, with a cargo of wheat and staves, was driven on shore at Winterton, outside of the outer bank. The chief officer and men of the Coast Guard immediately proceeded with the apparatus and Dennett's rockets, and a communication was made with them on the first fire, as has always been the case in every instance in which they have been brought into operation. It was, however, soon apparent that the crew were utterly ignorant as to what they were to do with the line which had been thus sent to them. Whilst every effort was being made to induce them to secure themselves to the rocket lines, a party was dispatched for the life boat, but the distance being so far, and the difficulty of procuring horses and of the travelling so great, that she did not arrive till after the vessel had gone to pieces, and the last man had perished. Five lost their hold by the fall of the mainmast. We could scarcely have supposed it possible that any men who profess to call themselves sailors could have been so utterly destitute of re- sources, as to perish with such ample means of deliverance in their own hands. RYI)F., DEC. I.—The oldest inhabitant of Ryde cannot re men bcr such a storm as the one we were visited with on Wednesday and Thursday, accompanied with thunder and lightning. We are happy to say the damage done is not of a very serious nature. SWANSEA HARBOUR.—On Wednesday evening and Thurs day morning last, the wind blowing a very strong gale f rom the south-west, the tide rose to th e extraordinary height of 23 feet two inches, as indicated by the tide guage on the pier, being seven feet two inches above its proper level. The baro. meter fell to 28, which is a very extraordinary occurrence in this part of the country. —Canibria7l.—[ In th e same paper are detailed several wrecks ; the cre ws i n some of the vessels men tioned have perished.] The subjoined reports, excepting that from Brighton, show that, in the part of the country to which they refer, the weather, though bad, has not been much worse than is fre quently experienced in November : The weather during the past week has been boisterous in the extreme, and the rain has been almost incessant. On Wednesday night the wind, which had been blowing a strong gale, increased to a hurricane, and about three in the morning there was a violent storm of thunder, lightning, and I The lowlands are everywhere flooded, hut we of any great damage in this vicinity. —Bristol Mercury. CHIMNEY PUTS, TILES, &c.—Them have not le a ar i d store of these wiiidfirlis this week ; and se‘ l T 'a r s al b n e a e r.L% a v laces of to their poiscapes, in consequence of too near a proximity descent. There is no street in the town which does not show ample traces of the severity of the late weather. Fragments of slate and tile meet us at every turn. Fortunately for the safety of street passengers, the bulk of those have been showered down during the night season.—Carnervon Herald. The weather has been very changeable in this neighbour hood during the week. On Monday and Tuesday we had keen frost, which suddenly changed on Tuesday evening to hail, rain, and snow. Wednesday was a very rainy day, and at night and during Thursday the wind was very boisterous.! North Derbyshire Chronicle. BRIGHTON, DEC. 3.—We still continue to experience the most tempestuous weather. Although on Saturday the wind had Considerably abated, and the weather was comparatively fine, yet towards the afternoon it came on to blow hard, and inhabitants were rain poured in torrents. About noon the were surprised by a loud salute of cannons, and on . num bers proceeding to the beach to discover the cause, it was found that Captain Greville had ; , ..ist arrived in our roads, in his beautiful little yacht, from 1-I,:_nouth, having accompanied Lord Durham to that port from Canada. The vessel, after firing the salute, proceeded on its course towards Portsmouth. On Saturday evening the storm raged with violence, and early on Sunday morning a Norwegian vessel (the Johanna) came on shore about a mile to the cast of Black Rock. She was without cargo or crew,. and has already begun to go to pieces. Last evening was ac companied by violent gusts of wind, rain, and thunder and lightning. About twelve o'clock a burst of thunder was heard that aroused many of the inhabitants from their beds, and di rectly afterwards the electric fluid struck one of the northern spires of the palace, which it destroyed, although fortunatety without injuring the rest of the edifice. The sentry on duty was much frightened, and gave the alarm. Towards this morning the storm abated, and it is now (nine o'clock A. M. ) very fine. The name of the unfortunate French ves sel, whose wreck we announced on Saturday, is the Martin de Savreau—two bodies have been picked up in the neighbourhood, supposed to be a portion of the crew. During the fierce gale on Friday a French brig, Les Deux Edouards, laden with wine and brandy, appeared in our roads under bare poles. Notwithstanding the enormous sea that was running at the time, a party of our fishermen put out to her. She proved, however, to have sustained no damage, and the Captain declined all offers of assistance. She rode out the gale in a surprising manner, and has since proceeded, on her course to Havre. Considerable damage has been done in the neighbourhood of Chichester by the overflowing of lands by the floods. On the estate of Mr. John Burton, a plough in team was struck by the electric fluid ; the horses were knocked doen, but otherwise nut injured ; but the lad who attended them was picked up insensible, and remains in a precarious state. At \%'inchilsea the electric Niel struck the chimney of a house, and decended through the roof to the chamber and kitchen : in the latter room a child was slightly scorched by her c l o tt• es t a ki ng fi re . I n t h e neighbourhood of Rye much damage has also been done by the lightning. Yesterday, the 29th November, all day, the barometer stood here at 28i inches, being lower than has been observed for some years. The weather has been and continues squally, but not particularly so. We are apprehensive, however, that we shall hear of storms elsewhere, as the quicksilver seldom falls so low without an accompanying convesion somewhere, althought it may happe n t o b e at a great di stance from tts.--, Sunderland Herald. In the beginning of the week the weather was intensely cold, and on the Tuesday night we had a fall of snow. The weather has been milder since that time, but very stormy. Sheffield Independent. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL' S-YESTERD4 T. The Derby betting commenced early in the afternoon, finished nearly half an hour later than usual, and ranged over an extensive field ; taken in the aggregate it was heavy, but not productive of any important results. The favourite was not backed, but two or three offers to take 11 to 1 proved that be has gained upon last week's quotation. Ilderim, Flam beau, and Accelerator, were severally backed at 20 to I each, and left off as they opened. Westonian, nominally at 22 to 1, is absolutely friendless. Of the 30 to 1 class those most in re quest were Zimmerman, Tros, Erin-go-Bragh, and Epidaurus ; the first mentioned of the four was backed to win a large stake without making any corresponding advance. Tros and Epi daurus had several friends. The subjoined list shows that a few outsiders were backed at liberal odds :- 10 to 1 agst Lord Jersey's Brother to Bay Middleton 20 to 1 agst Lord Jersey's Ilderim—taken 20 to 1 agst Duke of Rutland's Flambeau—taken 20 to 1 agst Mr. Bowes's Accelerator—taken 22 to 1 agst Mr. Wreford's Westonian 23 to 1 agst Lord Lichfield's Gulnare colt—take 30 to 1 27 to 1 agst Sir G.

THE EXTRAORDINARY --- FfiATACC7);;LISPI ED.-Harris, the pedestrian, completed his unparalleled undertaking of walking 1,750 miles in 1,000 successive hours, being one mile and three quarters each hour, at twenty-five minutes past twelve on Sunday night, when he received the warmest congratulations of his numerous friends, who had gone from town to witness the ter mination of this astonishing match. Harris's feet are very much . blistered, and h e h as su ff ered at intervals much pain in his limbs (particularly during the past week) from the conti nually drenching storms of rain to which he was exposed. Harris says that when he undertook the wager he was fully prepared to meet with a good deal of wet and inclement weather, from the advanced period of the year; but the variableness and severity of the atmosphere to which he has been subjected have far outstripped his utmost calculations, and sufficient to break down and ruin even the constitution of a horse. The cough under which lie labours, caught about ten days since, has harassed him considerably both day and night, and seems so firmly interwoven with his system, that he expresses himself fearful that it will adhere to him through life. He looks for ward with great anxiety to the next six or seven days, because he has always found, from fourteen years' experience, that after he has concluded any pedestrian undertaking, he suffers more excruciating pain for that period of time than during the actual performance of any laborious task in which he away have been engaged ; indeed, he says, so great has been his sufferings upon all former occasions, that he has not been able to go from his bed-chamber down stairs, without assistance, for several days together.
